R. C. Desai: Sardar was awarded Bharat Ratna

Shri R. C. Desai says, "I refer to front page article "Asli sardar kaun hai" by Mr. Prashant Dayal. I draw your attention to the facttual errors. Dinshaw's house and Sardar Patel's birth place is Nadiad and not Karmsad as mentioned in the article.

Sardar Patel memorial in Karmsad is due to the efforts of Late Shri Jethabhia V Patel of Karmsad and H M Patel erstwhile chairman of C V M and C A M and close associate of The Great Sardar during partition days. Let us also not forget that the Congress party under the banner of which Resp.Dinshaw is contesting elections was anti Sardar
for a long time.

That is why Sardar was awarded Bharat Ratna, many years later, after even Rajivji was awarded it. Even his portrait was placed only after Dinsha, Deepak Sathi and all other M Ps of BJP took up the matter with the concerned authorities. The name Of Sardar is invoked only after politicians realised his name's vote getting ability.

Thanking you once again".
